GRIDLINQ V2G CASE STUDY SUMMARY
========================================================================

SILVER PINES RV RESORT
Transient loops + full-time seasonal sites — Bend, Oregon

Two loops, two business models, one V2G system

A 260-site resort split between weekend transients and full-time seasonals. Ninety 50A pedestals now meter transient charging and dispatch seasonal battery capacity into evening peaks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROPERTY PROFILE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scale:        260 sites (95 full-time)
Service:      50A on two loops, 400A spare headroom
V2G enabled:  90 bidirectional pedestals

------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE STARTING POINT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Electric tow vehicles and battery-heavy rigs were charging on flat-rate transient sites at the resort's expense.
- Full-time seasonal rigs sat connected for months with no revenue path for their onboard storage.
- Evening peaks in July collided with air-conditioning load across the whole park.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BUILD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase 1: Split the loops
  Transient loops were submetered for billable charging; seasonal loops were prioritized for bidirectional hardware and long-dwell dispatch.
Phase 2: Seasonal enrollment
  Full-time guests opt in for a monthly site credit, with a reserve floor so their rigs stay travel-ready.
Phase 3: Evening peak dispatch
  Aggregated seasonal capacity discharges into the 5–9pm window, flattening the park's own summer demand peak first.
Phase 4: Fleet pilot
  A regional service fleet parks overnight on nine dedicated pedestals, adding a predictable weekday capacity block.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$38k           Annual grid revenue plus metered charging recovery
27%            Summer evening peak demand reduction
$19/mo         Average site credit paid to enrolled seasonals

------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEASURED OUTCOMES (BEFORE / AFTER)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transient charging recovery
  Before: $0 (flat rate)   After: $14,600 / yr metered   Change: new line item
Summer evening peak
  Before: 410 kW   After: 299 kW   Change: -27%
Grid program revenue
  Before: $0   After: $23,400 / yr   Change: new line item
Seasonal site retention
  Before: 81%   After: 94%   Change: +13 pts

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROJECT ECONOMICS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual value:   $38,000 revenue plus $11,000 avoided demand charges
Capital:        $0 upfront — hardware financed against program revenue
Payback:        Immediate on the transient loop
Time to value:  1 season to full seasonal enrollment

------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Transient guests pay for what they use and our seasonals get a credit for sitting still. Nobody had to change how they camp."
